History
During Anti-Monitor Crisis, after Oliver Queen died while battling the Anti-Monitor and reformed the universe, this city was formed on Earth-Prime, which contained most elements of Central City of Earth-1;[7] however, there are various differences between the two cities. One difference is the location of the graveyard where Nora Allen is buried.[8]
In 1989, Kathy Meyers was imprisoned for threatening teens at the prom of Central City High School.[1]
At some point after 2013, the Flash emerged as a vigilante in Central City.[7]
In 2017, a Nazi invasion occurred on the day of Barry Allen's and Iris West's wedding.[2]
Barry Allen was given by the city a medal of honor for the work he had done in law enforcement.[9]
In early 2020, Sterling Brooks attempted to rob Jitters during its citywide opening; the Flash captured him and the patrons cheered.[2]
William Clayton was abducted by John Byrne.[10]
A gang war began between Amunet Black's criminal organization and Goldface's black market; by Valentine's Day 2020, the leaders, Leslie Jocoy and her boyfriend Keith reconciled, ending the war.[3]
Many times, between 2005 to 2020, Mick Rory of 2020 appears at Ali's house in order to spend time with his daughter, Lita.[11][12]
